Football Awards Banquet

On Saturday, February
16, the Columbia Football Team honored its senior class and annual awards
winners at the Columbia Football Awards Banquet. Check out the photo gallery included in the update!

Coach Mangurian spoke
in detail about the selfless dedication of the senior class and its commitment
to leaving the program in a better place.
Here is a rundown of all the awards handed out and the individual award
winners:

The Phil Fusco Award is given to a player who exhibits overall
leadership. The player must have
been an obvious leader on and off the field, both athletically and
academically.

The Lou Little Coaches Most Improved Award is about progress. It is awarded to a player who, through extraordinary
efforts, improved his play and maximized his production. This award should take into account
ability wise: where the player started, and where he finished the season.

The Maniatty - Remmer Unsung Hero Award is given to a player whose role is not always
obvious to the outside observer, but without his contributions, the team would
not be as successful. He strives
to be a leader and performs his assignments to the best of his ability while
not expecting or requiring any public recognition.

The Offensive Player of the Year isawarded
to the player whose high level effort and performance on offense was constant
and his leadership obvious and irreplaceable. His contributions were the cornerstone of the offense's
success.

The Defensive Player of the Year isawarded
to the player whose high level effort and performance on defense was constant
and his leadership obvious and irreplaceable. His contributions were the cornerstone of the defense's
success.

The Sid Luckman Most Valuable Player Award isawarded
to the player whose contributions
were the cornerstone of the TEAM's success. Coach Mangurian said, "George Young once told me that the
definition of an impact player was a player that opposing teams had to game
plan for before you played a down.
Because if you waited until game time, it was too late. Josh Martin was an impact player for
us."

In Coach Mangurian's words,
"If we needed to send two guys out to represent this team, there is no doubt
that these are two we'd send out. Sean Brackett and Ryan Murphy."

Here are some career numbers
on our two Career Achievement Award winners:

Sean Brackett finished his senior season ranked in the
top three in Columbia history in almost every offensive category, while also
making a significant dent in the Ivy League Record Book. His highlights include:

46 passing Touchdowns
- Ranking second at Columbia and 11th in Ivy League history
all-time.

7,470
Yards of Total Offense - Ranking second at Columbia and fifth
in Ivy League history all-time.

6,237
Passing Yards - Ranking second at
Columbia and 10th in Ivy League history all-time.

On the defensive side of the
ball, Ryan Murphy finished his Columbia Career with 126 tackles, 24 tackles for
a loss, four pass breakups, four PDs, five fumble recovers and two forced
fumbles.
